2PURPOSE, OBJECTIVE
- To evaluate quality of visual function after
cataract surgery with implantation of spherical
silicon intraocular lens to the one eye and
aspherical silicon intraocular lens to the second
eye of the same patient, and compare the results
between these two different types of lenses. - We conducted a prospective study,
- to compare patients visual functions.
3Endpoints included
- postoperative BCVA
- UNCVA
- efficacy
- wavefront - analysis
- contrast sensitivity under photopic condition
- subjective satisfaction of the patients
4MATERIALS, METHODS
- The group of the patients
- 40 eyes of 20 patients were randomly assigned
and examined by masked examiner - The mean age of the patients was 72,5 (59 - 84)
years. - 11 (55) women, 9 (45) men.
- Cataract condition was presented in all cases.
- Mean preoperative BCVA 0,4 (0,32 - 0,8)
- All surgeries were performed by an experienced
surgeon using phacoemulsification with the
Infinity Vision system (Alcon), topical
anesthesia and standard surgical procedure.
5MATERIALS, METHODS
Tecnis Z9002
Clariflex
- 3-pieces, foldable, UV - blocking filter
- Biconvex optic diameter 6,0 mm
- Third generation silicone material
- polydimethyl - diphenylsiloxane
- OptiEdge design
- A - constant 118,0
- - Refractive index of 1.46
- TECNIS IOL was developed with help of
- wavefront technology.
- 3-pieces, foldable, UV-blocking filter
- Biconvex optic diameter 6,0 mm
- Third generation silicone material
- polydimethyl - diphenylsiloxane
- OptiEdge design
- A - constant 118,4
- - Aspherical anterior prolate surface
- - Refractive index of 1.46
- - Negative spherical aberration -0,27 µm
6MATERIALS, METHODS
- All patients were evaluated by a wavefront
analyzer (Wavescan), contrast sensitivity
(CSV-1000). - - wavefront - analysis was performed
monocularly with Wavescan (VISX) 3 months
postoperatively. - - contrast sensitivity was measured
monocularly with the best distance correction
with CSV 1000 instrument 3 months
postoperatively.

8RESULTS
Aspherical IOL
Non-aspherical IOL
9RESULTS
- Results of the wavefront
- analysis show that aspheric
- intraocular lens significantly
- reduces the occurrence of
- spherical aberration (plt 0,01)
Examination was performed min.1 month
postop. Min. pupil size was 5,5 mm
10RESULTS
- Results of the examination of contrast
sensitivity show that aspheric intraocular lens
are significantly better than spherical lenses
(plt 0,05).
Aspherical IOL Non-asperical IOL
11Discussion
- The theoretical preclinical calculations studies
suggest that spherical aberration of the eye
after cataract surgery using the anterior prolate
surface lenses can be modified. - The anterior prolate surface of the Tecnis Z9002
results in a negative spherical aberration of
0,27 µm for 6,0 mm pupil to compensate positive
spherical aberration of the cornea. - The recent studies found that these modified
lenses can improve contrast sensitivity under
mesopic and photopic conditions. - References

12CONCLUSSION
- Our results confirm that use of aspherical lenses
can reduce occurrence of spherical aberration and
can improve the visual performance of patients. - The benefit of this lens can be appreciated only
from patients with increased visual demands like
car drivers, like our results suggest.
